Aurelio de Laurentiis, president of Napoli, gave an interview to 'Corriere dello Sport' in which he analyzed the transfer window and discussed several important news. He will only negotiate the departure of Fabian and Koulibaly if they offer 100 million for them. Mertens and Callejón, on the other hand, are just one step away from extending their contracts.

Napoli president Aurelio Di Laurentiis has a clear transfer policy. If he gets an offer of 100 million euros for Fabian or Koulibaly, he will negotiate. If Mertens wants to extend his contract, he'll extend it, just like Callejon. 

"Fabian has three years left, Koulibaly two, no problem. If City, United or PSG come in with 100 million, I would think about it and most likely sell them as long as they want to. An offer of 60 million I don't even consider. I don't need money, I see teams with three, four hundred million in debt. I don't owe anyone anything," he said.

About Mertens, he said: "He's a special man, very smart. To renew a contract with a player who is 33 years old is not in our habits, but with him it was easy. And when he hangs up his boots, I'd like to find him a role to continue working with us." 

And, about Callejón, he said: "I spoke to him in September or October, I modified his contract of one hundred, two hundred thousand euros. His agent didn't tell us anything else. He knows the conditions." Although the renewal of the Spanish player is less important than that of the Belgian, he also has it in mind.
